Designer boittom tab

rbuser

Hi,

The report designer has tabs in the bottom where you select the main page
or the sub reports page (if any)

How can I select/change between the Main tab and the sub-report tab from
the application during runtime.

Hi Ronny,

You can use the TppDesigner.ReportTabs property to access the TTabSet used
in the designer window. Changing this in the OnShow event of the designer
should open the designer in the given subreport.

Nico,

Couldn't find a ReportTab property
Could you give an example to access the main report tab.

Hi Ronny,

Sorry, the ReportTabs property is located in the TppDesignerWindow class and
can be accessed through the TppDesigner.Form property. Here is some code I
just put together that changes the subreport tab as the designer shows.

uses
ppDsgner;

{$R *.dfm}

procedure Tfm_ppReportPrintTest.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
ppDesigner1.ShowModal;

end;

procedure Tfm_ppReportPrintTest.ppDesigner1Show(Sender: TObject);
begin
if ppDesigner1.Form is TppDesignerWindow then
TppDesignerWindow(ppDesigner1.Form).ReportTabs.SelectNext(True);

end;
